Hello everyone! This is my first post here, although I've been crawling around the forums for quite awhile gazing at everyone's creations.
I've run into a problem in my search to find parts for my 5HP Mariner. I know for a fact that it is a 1989 Mariner 5M, Serial number 6E3-S-159603. It's a manual start, short shaft outboard.
My brother gave me it for free(Score!) because he got it in a deal. It pretty needs much the whole recoil starter assembly minus the Starter Sheave (What the cord wraps around). It also needs a gear shift lever, which seem to be out of stock everywhere, and last but not least a carb rebuild probably would not hurt.
I've been told that this motor is a carbon copy of the 1989 Yamaha 4SF. However I wasn't too sure if the parts were interchangeable, all the schematics look about the same. I figured I'd come here and see what anyone else had to say.
Thanks,
SF Flats Fisher.
